Veteran forward Quentin Richardson is no stranger to the machinations of the salary cap, as his inclusion in a big trade between the Raptors and Knicks this offseason was not the first time he has been thrown into a deal to make salaries match. Richardson was involved in a trade that sent Andrea Bargnani from Toronto to New York, and is expected to be waived or traded by the Raptors prior to the season, according to the Toronto Sun.

The Knicks signed free agent guard Quentin Richardson on Monday, the team announced. Richardson was released by the Magic just days before the start of the regular season. Under league rules, because Richardson was not on an NBA roster when the year started, he will be eligible for the postseason.
